Itinerary description
|
The "McKinley" or more recently returned to its original name "Denali" can be described as beautiful, unique, difficult, remote, high, cold and many more things... a great goal for every mountaineer who likes the most unattainable challenges . When you have the immense luck of being able to make this dream come true, which has accompanied you since you were young, everything "the most" dazzles you, and you reach its peak, the adjectives end and materialities are objectified:
6,194 meters above sea level, the roof of North America, Base Camp at 2,000 m, slope to summit 4,100 m.+ and 4,100 m. descent, temperatures measured on the ascent down to -37 °C. at least 3 km of aerial edges with a belay requirement, more than 200 m. of jumareo on fixed rope and many others downhill, 5 camps with "0" comforts and "0" support different from everything you do not carry by yourself in your backpack and/or self-pulled sled, "self-management of food and water ", self-sufficiency in communications and eventual help/sos, a very long journey through a glacier with indubitable objective risks, exclusive access/exit to Cbase by aerial means conditioned by the weather, personal excrement that you carry with you throughout the expedition... In conclusion: mountaineering of which is no longer carried, in its purest form, in one of the "difficult" of the Project Seven Summits in the World
